Well, I don't see how that denies consciousness... In the other hand,
currently, physics and chemistry don't explain everything... and maybe Bruno
hypothesis is what underlink all this... still that does not deny
consciousness phenomena. And still I *can't* accept any (so called) proof
that consciousness does not exists given *I* at least am conscious for sure.
